Sowing Seeds of Love

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Over the past few weeks since I started my workout routine I had a feeling that something was up.  If you've read my blog posts from the beginning you'll find some irony in what I'm about to tell you. After a few weeks of sickness - stomach ache, nausea, shakiness - ...

Days 21-22: Constant Nausea Putting Kybash on Plan

Monday, April 28th, 2008

Sunday morning I did my darndest to get up early and exercise. I got through half of my slim-in-6 workout before I noticed that I had to stop to get ready for church... Or I'd be late - AGAIN. We did good and made it during the first ...

Days 18-20: Still pushing

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

I don't know what happened Thursday. The morning was good, I played with Yeyda and ate a good, healthy lunch. About an hour after lunch I thought I was going to vomit. I was so naucious. It felt like someone was twisting my guts in opposite ...

Days 14 - 17: Trying to get back on the horse

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Ever been horseback riding? It's not my favorite past time. I'm short, fat and uncoordinated and being on the back of a large creature whose girth is wider than your knees can stretch is rather uncomfortable. These past few days that is what exercise has felt like ...

Days 12 & 13: Discouraged, depressed and distracted

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

The discomfort I felt on Day 11 after not getting enough fuel to effectively complete my workouts or my day left me feeling limp and uninterested in exercise on day 12. It depressed me a bit because I thought that I'd found my achilles heel that I'd never lose ...

Day 11: Left exhausted and hungry

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

New SparkPeople Nutritional Plan At first I thought it was going to be daunting to use the nutritional guidance of SparkPeople's site, but I found it was easier to manage and modify that I originally thought. Even though they give you a menu for the day - if you ask ...

Day 10: Just joined SparkPeople a FREE weight loss plan site

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

I just joined SparkPeople after seeing their link on a fellow blogger's site. It looks like a really cool site and may just be the extra push I need (Oh, and did I mention it's FREE). After logging in they calculated my BMI (Body Mass Index). At 5'2" tall and 190 ...

DAY 9: Weigh In Day with a Surprise

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

It's day 9.  Woo hoo, made it one more day.  Today I actually took my little dvd player (which is dying and doesn't have a working remote anymore) outside so my little girl could play while I exercised.  The patio boards are old and the paint is worn off so ...

Day 8 New Workout & I Feel Great

Monday, April 14th, 2008

It's day 8 and I'm still at it even after a day of rest. Today I started on the Slim in 6 routine with Debbie Seebers of Beach Body. I thought maybe I'd have to break it down into 2 workouts throughout the day, but I was able ...

Day 7: Taking the day off

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

Today is day 7 of my workout regimen and I think I'm going to rest a bit and recover. Tomorrow I'm going to pick up the pace a bit and do the "Start It Up" video workout from Beach Body's Slim In 6 routine. It's about 25 minutes ...
